What happens if you plug an acoustic guitar in a regular amp?

admin — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 04:50:21 +0000

Like, I have an acoustic or rather semi-Acoustic Guitar and I can plug it into an amp, it also has like this pre-amp thing. But I found out there are like special amps for this kind of guitar. Why is that?

Your acoustic-electric will work with any guitar amp. The so called "acoustic" amps are pretty much the same as a guitar amp except they have a few extra features. Since acoustic players often play solo, many of the acoustic amps have a separate channel designed for a microphone. The EQ settings may be tailored more for acoustic also, but a normal guitar amp will be fine.

The type of pickup used on acoustic-electric guitars isn’t as "powerful" as the magnetic pickups on Electric Guitars. The purpose of the "pre-amp" on your guitar is to boost the signal from your guitar pickup. It also allows you to adjust volume and tone.

What kind of acoustic guitar should I buy?

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 07:48:46 +0000

I just started playing guitar, and the acoustic I have is horrible. I don’t want a beginner’s acoustic but I don’t want to spend loads of money on one either. What are the best brands? What are some good brands I can get cheap? Any ideas?

i bought a martin d16 for 1300 after almost a year of playing a jasmine that sounded like crap. put to learn on it was ok. taylors are good. seagulls. alvarez. if you want to spend a few hundred dollars. go to musiciansfriend.com and request a catalog.

What are good acoustic guitar strings for a Martin acoustic guitar?

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:20:28 +0000

I’m buying a Martin OM-1E in two weeks. What type of strings are good for this type of guitar? I’ve primarily played electric up until now, so I’m not familiar with Acoustic Guitar string types. I’m looking for a dynamic, responsive type of tone for finger picking, however, I also need the strings to give a full sound when I’m strumming. Any brands or gauges you recommend?

Here you go.
